Asteroid 2024 MT1 is headed towards Earth at over 40,000 MPH and will pass by our planet on Monday, on July 8 at a range of just 936,000 miles, meaning that NASA has classified it as being “Potentially Hazardous.” While 936,000 miles may sound like a long distance and nothing to really be concerned about, […]

A Giant Asteroid Going Over 40,000 MPH Is Headed Towards Earth

What if a never-before-seen asteroid barreling in our direction was likely to strike Earth? 

That’s the hypothetical scenario NASA astronomers tested with a recent simulation in which officials attempted to plan for an asteroid that had a 72% chance of hitting Earth in just 14 years. 

After the theoretical timeline was posed to a group of nearly 100 government representatives in April, NASA found that the best plan they made to counter the horrifying doomsday scenario had several “high-level gaps,” according to their presentation.

NASA plans for doomsday scenario of asteroid with 72 percent chance of hitting Earth in 14 years

An asteroid around the size of the Washington Monument is set to flash by Earth this month. The so-named 2024 MK asteroid will come even closer than the orbit of the moon on June 29 and is estimated to be around 394 to 885 feet in diameter. The asteroid could pass some 50,000 miles closer than the moon, according to NASA's Center for Near Earth Object Studies.

For the first time, scientists have discovered a cave on the moon, estimated to be at least 100 meters deep. This discovery could be pivotal for establishing a permanent human base on the lunar surface, offering protection from radiation, extreme temperatures, and space weather. Researchers believe this cave is just one of potentially hundreds hidden in an “underground, undiscovered world.”

Caitlin Tan wanted to breed her childhood horse, JP, because she’s been “amazing” — the type of animal any equestrian would be lucky to have once in a lifetime. Having access to coveted bloodlines increased the allure. Via the Miller Ranch, she could pair her 18-year-old mare with a stud descendent of Playboy’s Buck Fever.

A dangerous drug that is being mixed into fentanyl is causing those who inject it to develop a rash of sores that resembles a case of flesh-eating bacteria. People experiencing homelessness around Denver can sometimes be seen with these bloody, weeping wounds. I recently mentioned this phenomenon to a fentanyl user who told me about the xylazine connection.

There are eight planets in our solar system – plus poor old Pluto, which was demoted in 2006 – but what if there were more?Turns out that might be the case. Astronomers have calculated there is a 7 per cent chance that Earth has another neighbour hiding in the Oort cloud, a spherical region of ice chunks and rocks that is tens of thousands of times farther from the sun than we are.“It’s completely plausible for our solar system to have captured such an Oort cloud planet,” said Nathan Kaib, a co-author on the work and an astronomer at the...
